Summary: Located on a vertical rock face in the Bobbin Head Marina carpark is an engraving of a fish, mammal and goanna

This is one of those sites “hidden in plain view”: above the carpark on a long vertical rock face. Most prominent is a fish; within the outline of the fish and not easily visible is a set of three sword clubs or non-returning boomerangs.

Nearby is also a mammal (which could be a rock wallaby or bandicoot) and an iguana (goanna).

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Hornsby Shire - which is the largest LGA in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan region - contains approximately 600 recorded Aboriginal rock art sites (and over 1,200 Aboriginal heritage sites). These date back from thousands of years to post-European contact art.

The Blue Mountains National Park (and surrounding areas along the Great Western Highway) is thought to have over a thousand indigenous heritage sites, although much of the park has not been comprehensively surveyed. The Aboriginal rock sites in the Blue Mountains include grinding grooves, stensils, drawing and rock carvings.
